Game just won't start at all
« on: April 06, 2017, 06:32:12 am »
Hello! I just happened to catch registration open, made an account, and installed the game (Torrent). However, it won't start at all for me. It's not my performance, as I have a pretty beefy computer which can handle pretty much anything. It goes to the OGRE setup page thing (more in the photos) and once I click "OK" it just stops working right away. It doesn't even start up. Here's some pictures on my Twitter https://twitter.com/jelly_beantrash/status/849872168938811393 . What can I do? (Edit: OpenGL is also the only option.)

Have you tried changing your rendering subsystem? You can do that in that little pop up window that you had as one of your pics on Twitter. There is OpenGL and Direct3D9

Looks like you need to edit your ogre.cfg file. Open the ogre.cfg file under C:\FeralHeart with the program called Notepad if you are in Windows. You should get something that looks like this:




What you do is make the ogre.cfg file look like that except with a change of rendering subsystem. So, right next to the "Render System=" at the top, you would put "Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem"

Make sure you save and then exit the cfg file!

It won't let me save the file unless I change the name. Is that safe?

It should just give you an option to "Save" without changing the file name, hmm. Try exiting out of the file and try it again and see if it gives you just the option to save. If it saved as a name other than "ogre.cfg" it will not work and your game will most likely break.

Try opening the file up as an administrator. all you need to do is right click the ogre.cfg file in your FeralHeart folder and select "Run as Administrator"

Should look something like this:

I don't have the option. But after editing it on notepad it's a notepad file, is that normal?
